So today we're going to talk about something called fecal, microbiota, transplantation.

Now why would anyone get a crap about this topic? I'm sorry, I had to do that. But this

fecal transplantation is becoming mainstream in medicine. It's highly effective for

the infection called C-DIF. It can greatly help irritable bowel diseases. It's been found

to be superior to antibiotics. There's been great results with autism, MS, rheumatoid arthritis,

decreasing risks of cancer, Parkinson's, chronic fatigue syndrome, acne, and even depression.

However, I have some basic questions about this therapy. How long does it really last? I mean,

if you go back to your usual eating habits, do you maintain this microbiome or does it become

altered or affected by your lifestyle? I mean, what people really should be doing is find out

what the fecal donor is eating and eat like that person. But this fecal transplant has been

around for a very, very long time. I'm talking like 2000 years. The Chinese actually used it as a

therapy for many different things. But there's some really important points to this topic. The fact

that it works so well for so many different conditions, I mean, the connection between our microbes

and both the innate and the acquired immune system, the importance in brain health, the importance

of digesting things that we can't digest like fiber, the importance of these secondary bile

salts made by microbes, and the importance of bile in general. Also for our skin and autoimmune

diseases, nearly every single autoimmune disease starts in your gut. And if there was a much better

friendly relationship with these microbes, chances are you probably wouldn't get an autoimmune

problem. I mean, there are certain bacteria that help produce the risk for kidney stones because

these microbes help to deal with oxalates. There's microbes that deal with uric acid to help reduce

the risk of gout. There are microbes that produce compounds that are anti-cancer. And really,

we just need to change our overall viewpoint with these bacteria or microbes in general.
